•The 1,297th ranked educational system in America
•Justin Verlander •Unlimited use of the phrase, "Detroit Muscle"

"It’s overpriced." No, not really scrap metal price alone is worth 100 times that.
As long as the LIEberals would let you sell it all for scrap and bulldoze it over.

Ah, but if you buy it, you presumably become responsible for all the debts associated with it...which are a heck of a lot more than $9 million!

Batteries not included.
Some assembly required.
Act now, and we'll throw in Dearborn, just pay second shipping and handling.
